Parking Brake Use
-
Never allow a passenger to touch the parking brake. If the parking brake is released unintentionally, serious injury may occur.
-
All vehicles should always have the parking brake fully engaged when parked to avoid inadvertent movement of the vehicles which can injure occupants or pedestrians.
Check the brake warning light by pressing EV button ON (do not start the vehicle). This light will appear when the parking brake is applied with the EV button in the START or ON position.
Before driving, be sure the parking brake is fully released and the brake warning light is off.
If the brake warning light remains on after the parking brake is released while the vehicle is running, there may be a malfunction in the brake system. Immediate attention is necessary.
If at all possible, cease driving the vehicle immediately. If that is not possible, use extreme caution while operating the vehicle and only continue to drive the vehicle until you can reach a safe location or repair shop.
